Deputy Michael
Hannaford was on routine patrol in a marked unit, heading westbound on
US 92 at near Mobile Villa Dr. The victim was on the south side of US 92
when he rode his bicycle directly into Deputy Hannaford's path of
travel, making it impossible for Deputy Hannaford to stop in time.

The victim was
struck by Deputy Hannaford's vehicle and severely injured. He was
quickly transported by Hillsborough County Fire Rescue to Tampa General
Hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Preliminary
reports from the hospital indicated the victim had a blood alcohol level
(BAC) of .27 at the time of the crash.
